Mike Huckabee: Trump and Carson Not as Inevitable as Media Say
Newsmax ^ | 10/23/2015 | Bill Hoffmann

Mike Huckabee says despite their runaway polling numbers in the battleground primary states, both Donald Trump and Ben Carson could easily end up losing — to him. The former Arkansas governor acknowledges being way behind the billionaire developer and retired pediatric neurosurgeon in the race all three are engaged in for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

For example, in a new Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll of likely GOP caucusgoers in Iowa, Huckabee registers only 3 percent of the vote as compared to Carson's 28 percent and Trump's 19 percent. But those numbers are deceiving — and a big upset is very possible, he believes.

"Historically, Iowa is a state where the voters break late for who they end up voting for and there typically is at this point a candidate that is riding high in the polls, but it doesn't last," Huckabee said on Newsmax TV's "The Steve Malzberg Show."

Hugeabee is going nowhere but to diabetes infomercials alongside Wilford Brimley.

Regardless of how inevitable Trump or Carson may be, Mike Huckabee, you still need to smell the cold old coffee and get out.

At this point in the primary, any primary, this statement is always true:

“_____ Not as Inevitable as Media Say”

If you remember anything from last time, one thing about Huckabee - he doesn't get out. Unfortunately.

Ted Cruz is the only one well positioned to take the lead if Trump and Carson fade.

I know! I totally forgot Huckster was in this thing! LOL! What a jolt.

Guess this stupid remark replaces anything remotely resembling a campaign, huh?

There is no reason for Trump to fade, actually, but for the Club for Growth false ads sure made a nasty dent in Iowa. I hope he is able to smash them, or sue their socks off! That would be rich.

Seems like it has been at least a month since the polls included numbers for him.

It’s good to be an optimist provided you don’t have a psychotic break with it.

Anticipating the Mike Huckabee/Jim Gilmore surge is analogous to “Waiting for Godot.”

My guess Huckabee is in it to sell his history for kids DVDs.

http://www.christianfilmdatabase.com/review/mike-huckabees-learn-our-history-the-series/

I got a free one, ordered the next one, and they kept coming in the mail! After the fourth DVD arrived, it dawned on me that I somehow signed up for the entire series. I cancelled my subscription, but may order them in the future for my grandchildren.

But one thing that is inevitable, is that Huckabee will be an ‘also ran’.
